Blog Assignment 6
1. Do parents ever pressure their children to achieve ? Why do you think so ?
Parents pressure their children to achieve because they want their children to be the best they can be. They do not want their kids I'm the streets, or committing crimes that would put them in bad situations. Overall more parents should continue to pressure their kids to help reduce the poverty and crime rates.
2. What are some of the conflicts that parents and children have?
One of the main conflicts parents and children have are their friends. Parents are skeptical about who their kids hang with because they think they are bad influences. In my case sometimes my mother questions some of my friends I hang with, but I make he lose suspicion by keeping my grades up.
3. Do you feel that people can be anything they want to be?
I feel if people put their mind to something they can be anything they want to be. To often today many people give up because they cannot handle the work needed to be done to be successful. There will be many road block along the journey, but success was never promised to be easy.
4. Do all conflicts have a winner?
I believe some conflicts do have a winner and some do not have one. I say this because some people are unyielding to what others have to say and is not willing to resolve a conflict. Although, there are some people who will set their differences aside to make a common agreement.
5. Compare your relationship with your parents to Chinese children's relationship with their parents in China.
My relationship with my parents have a some similarities to those of Chinese families. The major similarity is that my parents are hard on me about my school work. My parents require me to take all advanced classes so I have a better chance to be successful, much like Chinese parents who are strict when it comes to grades.
